2019-02-27elf/Makefile: Run IFUNC tests if binutils supports IFUNCH.J. Lu
We should run IFUNC tests with --disable-multi-arch if the toolchain supports IFUNCs. For correctness, --disable-multi-arch must not remove IFUNC support from the loader. Tested on x86-64, x32 and i686 with and without --disable-multi-arch. * configure.ac (have-ifunc): New LIBC_CONFIG_VAR. * configure: Regenerated. * elf/Makefile: Run IFUNC tests if binutils supports IFUNC.

2019-02-01Require GCC 6.2 or later to build glibc.Joseph Myers
As discussed during development for glibc 2.29, when we increased the required minimum GCC version for building glibc to GCC 5, working purely based on the times at which such requirements have been increased in the past it would be appropriate for glibc 2.30 to require GCC 6 (matching GCC 4.9 having been required for glibc 2.26). Naming 6.2 specifically as the minimum version then means a separate version requirement no longer needs to be specified for powerpc64le. Thus, this patch increases the minimum to 6.2, removing the documentation of the separate requirement for powerpc64le. It does not remove the powerpc64le configure test, or any __GNUC_PREREQ that could be removed as not being in installed headers or files shared with gnulib; I think such cleanups are best done separately. Tested for x86_64. * configure.ac (libc_cv_compiler_ok): Require GCC 6.2 or later. * configure: Regenerated. * manual/install.texi (Tools for Compilation): Update minimum GCC version. * INSTALL: Regenerated.
2018-12-21Require GCC 5 or later to build glibc (bug 23993).Joseph Myers
We know that building glibc with GCC 4.9 is broken on various platforms (bug 23993). As it's more than a year since we last increased the minimum GCC version to build glibc, this patch changes the requirement to be GCC 5 or later (indeed, based on 4.9 having been required for building 2.26, it would be consistent in terms of timing to require GCC 6 or later from the 2.30 release onwards). It deliberately just updates the configure test and corresponding documentation, leaving removal of no-longer-needed __GNUC_PREREQ tests for a separate patch. In the NEWS entry, the requirement for a newer GCC version for powerpc64le is reiterated (as in the entry for the 4.9 requirement in 2.26) to avoid suggesting the version requirement there has gone down. (If that version goes up further as part of support for binary128 long double, of course the wording would change at that time.) Tested for x86_64.

2018-10-29Patch to require Python 3.4 or later to build glibc.Joseph Myers
This patch makes Python 3.4 or later a required tool for building glibc, so allowing changes of awk, perl etc. code used in the build and test to Python code without any such changes needing makefile conditionals or to handle older Python versions. This patch makes the configure test for Python check the version and give an error if Python is missing or too old, and removes makefile conditionals that are no longer needed. It does not itself convert any code from another language to Python, and does not remove any compatibility with older Python versions from existing scripts.

2018-09-25Fix ifunc support with DT_TEXTREL segments (BZ#20480)Adhemerval Zanella
Currently, DT_TEXTREL is incompatible with IFUNC. When DT_TEXTREL or DF_TEXTREL is seen, the dynamic linker calls __mprotect on the segments with PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE before applying dynamic relocations. It leads to segfault when performing IFUNC resolution (which requires PROT_EXEC as well for the IFUNC resolver). This patch makes it call __mprotect with extra PROT_WRITE bit, which will keep the PROT_EXEC bit if exists, and thus fixes the segfault. FreeBSD rtld libexec/rtld-elf/rtld.c (reloc_textrel_prot) does the same. Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, aarch64-linux-gnu, sparc64-linux-gnu, sparcv9-linux-gnu, and armv8-linux-gnueabihf. Adam J.

2018-07-16x86: Support IBT and SHSTK in Intel CET [BZ #21598]H.J. Lu
Intel Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET) instructions: https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/managed/4d/2a/control-flow-en forcement-technology-preview.pdf includes Indirect Branch Tracking (IBT) and Shadow Stack (SHSTK). GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_IBT is added to GNU program property to indicate that all executable sections are compatible with IBT when ENDBR instruction starts each valid target where an indirect branch instruction can land. Linker sets GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_IBT on output only if it is set on all relocatable inputs. On an IBT capable processor, the following steps should be taken: 1. When loading an executable without an interpreter, enable IBT and lock IBT if GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_IBT is set on the executable. 2. When loading an executable with an interpreter, enable IBT if GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_IBT is set on the interpreter. a. If GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_IBT isn't set on the executable, disable IBT. b. Lock IBT. 3. If IBT is enabled, when loading a shared object without GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_IBT: a. If legacy interwork is allowed, then mark all pages in executable PT_LOAD segments in legacy code page bitmap. Failure of legacy code page bitmap allocation causes an error. b. If legacy interwork isn't allowed, it causes an error. GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_SHSTK is added to GNU program property to indicate that all executable sections are compatible with SHSTK where return address popped from shadow stack always matches return address popped from normal stack. Linker sets GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_SHSTK on output only if it is set on all relocatable inputs. On a SHSTK capable processor, the following steps should be taken: 1. When loading an executable without an interpreter, enable SHSTK if GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_SHSTK is set on the executable. 2. When loading an executable with an interpreter, enable SHSTK if GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_SHSTK is set on interpreter. a. If GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_SHSTK isn't set on the executable or any shared objects loaded via the DT_NEEDED tag, disable SHSTK. b. Otherwise lock SHSTK. 3. After SHSTK is enabled, it is an error to load a shared object without GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_SHSTK. To enable CET support in glibc, --enable-cet is required to configure glibc. When CET is enabled, both compiler and assembler must support CET. Otherwise, it is a configure-time error. To support CET run-time control, 1. _dl_x86_feature_1 is added to the writable ld.so namespace to indicate if IBT or SHSTK are enabled at run-time. It should be initialized by init_cpu_features. 2. For dynamic executables: a. A l_cet field is added to struct link_map to indicate if IBT or SHSTK is enabled in an ELF module. _dl_process_pt_note or _rtld_process_pt_note is called to process PT_NOTE segment for GNU program property and set l_cet. b. _dl_open_check is added to check IBT and SHSTK compatibilty when dlopening a shared object. 3. Replace i386 _dl_runtime_resolve and _dl_runtime_profile with _dl_runtime_resolve_shstk and _dl_runtime_profile_shstk, respectively if SHSTK is enabled. CET run-time control can be changed via GLIBC_TUNABLES with $ export GLIBC_TUNABLES=glibc.tune.x86_shstk=[permissive|on|off] $ export GLIBC_TUNABLES=glibc.tune.x86_ibt=[permissive|on|off] 1. permissive: SHSTK is disabled when dlopening a legacy ELF module. 2. on: IBT or SHSTK are always enabled, regardless if there are IBT or SHSTK bits in GNU program property. 3. off: IBT or SHSTK are always disabled, regardless if there are IBT or SHSTK bits in GNU program property. <cet.h> from CET-enabled GCC is automatically included by assembly codes to add GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_IBT and GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_SHSTK to GNU program property. _CET_ENDBR is added at the entrance of all assembly functions whose address may be taken. _CET_NOTRACK is used to insert NOTRACK prefix with indirect jump table to support IBT. It is defined as notrack when _CET_NOTRACK is defined in <cet.h>.

2017-12-18Pass -no-pie to GCC only if GCC defaults to PIE [BZ #22614]H.J. Lu

We should set no-pie-ldflag to -no-pie, which is supported on GCC 6 and later, only if GCC defaults to PIE, not when --enable-static-pie is used to configure glibc. Tested on x32 with --enable-static-pie using GCC 5 and without --enable-static-pie using GCC 7.

2017-12-15Add --enable-static-pie configure option to build static PIE [BZ #19574]H.J. Lu
Static PIE extends address space layout randomization to static executables. It provides additional security hardening benefits at the cost of some memory and performance. Dynamic linker, ld.so, is a standalone program which can be loaded at any address. This patch adds a configure option, --enable-static-pie, to embed the part of ld.so in static executable to create static position independent executable (static PIE). A static PIE is similar to static executable, but can be loaded at any address without help from a dynamic linker. When --enable-static-pie is used to configure glibc, libc.a is built as PIE and all static executables, including tests, are built as static PIE. The resulting libc.a can be used together with GCC 8 or above to build static PIE with the compiler option, -static-pie. But GCC 8 isn't required to build glibc with --enable-static-pie. Only GCC with PIE support is needed. When an older GCC is used to build glibc with --enable-static-pie, proper input files are passed to linker to create static executables as static PIE, together with "-z text" to prevent dynamic relocations in read-only segments, which are not allowed in static PIE. The following changes are made for static PIE: 1. Add a new function, _dl_relocate_static_pie, to: a. Get the run-time load address. b. Read the dynamic section. c. Perform dynamic relocations. Dynamic linker also performs these steps. But static PIE doesn't load any shared objects. 2. Call _dl_relocate_static_pie at entrance of LIBC_START_MAIN in libc.a. crt1.o, which is used to create dynamic and non-PIE static executables, is updated to include a dummy _dl_relocate_static_pie. rcrt1.o is added to create static PIE, which will link in the real _dl_relocate_static_pie. grcrt1.o is also added to create static PIE with -pg. GCC 8 has been updated to support rcrt1.o and grcrt1.o for static PIE. Static PIE can work on all architectures which support PIE, provided: 1. Target must support accessing of local functions without dynamic relocations, which is needed in start.S to call __libc_start_main with function addresses of __libc_csu_init, __libc_csu_fini and main. All functions in static PIE are local functions. If PIE start.S can't reach main () defined in a shared object, the code sequence: pass address of local_main to __libc_start_main ... local_main: tail call to main via PLT can be used. 2. start.S is updated to check PIC instead SHARED for PIC code path and avoid dynamic relocation, when PIC is defined and SHARED isn't defined, to support static PIE. 3. All assembly codes are updated check PIC instead SHARED for PIC code path to avoid dynamic relocations in read-only sections. 4. All assembly codes are updated check SHARED instead PIC for static symbol name. 5. elf_machine_load_address in dl-machine.h are updated to support static PIE. 6. __brk works without TLS nor dynamic relocations in read-only section so that it can be used by __libc_setup_tls to initializes TLS in static PIE. NB: When glibc is built with GCC defaulted to PIE, libc.a is compiled with -fPIE, regardless if --enable-static-pie is used to configure glibc. When glibc is configured with --enable-static-pie, libc.a is compiled with -fPIE, regardless whether GCC defaults to PIE or not. The same libc.a can be used to build both static executable and static PIE. There is no need for separate PIE copy of libc.a. On x86-64, the normal static sln: text data bss dec hex filename 625425 8284 5456 639165 9c0bd elf/sln the static PIE sln: text data bss dec hex filename 657626 20636 5392 683654 a6e86 elf/sln The code size is increased by 5% and the binary size is increased by 7%. Linker requirements to build glibc with --enable-static-pie: 1. Linker supports --no-dynamic-linker to remove PT_INTERP segment from static PIE. 2. Linker can create working static PIE. The x86-64 linker needs the fix for https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21782 The i386 linker needs to be able to convert "movl main@GOT(%ebx), %eax" to "leal main@GOTOFF(%ebx), %eax" if main is defined locally. Binutils 2.29 or above are OK for i686 and x86-64. But linker status for other targets need to be verified. 3. Linker should resolve undefined weak symbols to 0 in static PIE: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22269 4. Many ELF backend linkers incorrectly check bfd_link_pic for TLS relocations, which should check bfd_link_executable instead: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22263 Tested on aarch64, i686 and x86-64.

2017-12-12Remove --with-fp / --without-fp.Joseph Myers
There is a configure option --without-fp that specifies that nofpu sysdeps directories should be used instead of fpu directories. For most glibc configurations, this option is of no use: either there is no valid nofpu variant of that configuration, or there are no fpu or nofpu sysdeps directories for that processor and so the option does nothing. For a few configurations, if you are using a soft-float compiler this option is required, and failing to use it generally results in compilation errors from inline asm using unavailable floating-point instructions. We're moving away from --with-cpu to configuring glibc based on how the compiler generates code, and it is natural to do so for --without-fp as well; in most cases the soft-float and hard-float ABIs are incompatible so you have no hope of building a working glibc with an inappropriately configured compiler or libgcc. This patch eliminates --without-fp, replacing it entirely by automatic configuration based on the compiler. Configurations for which this is relevant (coldfire / mips / powerpc32 / sh) define a variable with_fp_cond in their preconfigure fragments (under the same conditions under which those fragments do anything); this is a preprocessor conditional which the toplevel configure script then uses in a test to determine which sysdeps directories to use. The config.make with-fp variable remains. It's used only by powerpc (sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32/Makefile) to add -mhard-float to various flags variables. For powerpc, -mcpu= options can imply use of soft-float. That could be an issue if you want to build for e.g. 476fp, but are using --with-cpu=476 because there isn't a 476fp sysdeps directory. If in future we eliminate --with-cpu and replace it entirely by testing the compiler, it would be natural at that point to eliminate that code as well (as the user should then just use a compiler defaulting to 476fp and the 476 sysdeps directory would be used automatically). Tested for x86_64, and tested with build-many-glibcs.py that installed shared libraries are unchanged by this patch. * configure.ac (--with-fp): Remove configure option. (with_fp_cond): New variable.

2017-12-05Add elision tunablesRogerio Alves
This patch adds several new tunables to control the behavior of elision on supported platforms[1]. Since elision now depends on tunables, we should always *compile* with elision enabled, and leave the code disabled, but available for runtime selection. This gives us *much* better compile-time testing of the existing code to avoid bit-rot[2]. Tested on ppc, ppc64, ppc64le, s390x and x86_64. [1] This part of the patch was initially proposed by Paul Murphy but was "staled" because the framework have changed since the patch was originally proposed: https://patchwork.sourceware.org/patch/10342/ [2] This part of the patch was inititally proposed as a RFC by Carlos O'Donnell.

2017-11-30plural.c: improve reproducibilityJuro Bystricky
There is a subtle non-determinism when building glibc. This depends on whether the glibc is built using the distibuted file intl/plural.c or built using the generated file intl/plural.c. These two files (intl/plural.c generated vs. distributed) are slightly different, hence we may end up with slightly different libraries. Originally, having "bison" installed was optional. So if "bison" was not present, we always built libraries with the distributed plural.c. If bison was installed, we *** may have *** replaced the distributed file plural.c with a new plural.c generated from plural.y. if the timestamps triggered this rule: plural.c plural.y $(BISON) $(BISONFLAGS) $@ $^ Given that timestamps are not preserved in GIT repositories, the above rule is not reliable without explicitly touching plural.c or plural.y. In other words, the rule may or may not have fired. In summary: there are two distinct sources of non-determinism: 1. Having "bison" installed or not 2. Having "bison" installed but timestamps poorly defined. This patch fixes this by requiring "bison" being installed and by always generating intl/plural.c from intl/plural.y.

2017-10-20Avoid build multiarch if compiler warns about mismatched aliasAdhemerval Zanella
GCC 8 emits an warning for alias for functions with incompatible types and it is used extensivelly for ifunc resolvers implementations in C (for instance on weak_alias with the internal symbol name to the external one or with the libc_hidden_def to set ifunc for internal usage). This breaks the build when the ifunc resolver is not defined using gcc attribute extensions (HAVE_GCC_IFUNC being 0). Although for all currently architectures that have multiarch support this compiler options is enabled for default, there is still the option where the user might try build glibc with a compiler without support for such extension. In this case this patch just disable the multiarch folder in sysdeps selections. GCC 7 and before still builds IFUNCs regardless of compiler support (although for the lack of attribute support debug information would be optimal). Checked with a build on multiarch support architectures (aarch64, arm, sparc, s390, powerpc, x86_64, i386) with multiarch enable and disable and with GCC 7 and GCC 8. * configure.ac (libc_cv_gcc_incompatbile_alias): New define: indicates whether compiler emits an warning for alias for functions with incompatible types.
2017-10-05Remove add-ons mechanism.Joseph Myers
glibc has an add-ons mechanism to allow additional software to be integrated into the glibc build. Such add-ons may be within the glibc source tree, or outside it at a path passed to the --enable-add-ons configure option. localedata and crypt were once add-ons, distributed in separate release tarballs, but long since stopped using that mechanism. Linuxthreads was always an add-on. Ports spent some time as an add-on with separate release tarballs, then was first moved into the glibc source tree, then had its sysdeps files moved into the main sysdeps hierarchy so the add-ons mechanism was no longer used. NPTL spent some time as an add-on in the main glibc tree before stopping using the add-on mechanism. libidn used to have separate release tarballs but no longer does so, but still uses the add-ons mechanism within the glibc source tree. Various other software has supported building with the add-ons mechanism at times in the past, but I don't think any is still widely used. Add-ons involve significant, little-used complexity in the glibc build system, and make it hard to understand what the space of possible glibc configurations is. This patch removes the add-ons mechanism. libidn is now built via the Subdirs mechanism to cause any configuration using sysdeps/unix/inet to build libidn; HAVE_LIBIDN (which effectively means shared libraries are available) is now defined via sysdeps/unix/inet/configure. Various references to add-ons around the source tree are removed (in the case of maint.texi, the example list of sysdeps directories is still very out of date). Externally maintained ports should now put their files in the normal sysdeps directory structure rather than being arranged as add-ons; they probably need to change e.g. elf.h anyway, rather than actually being able to work just as a drop-in subtree. Hurd libpthread should be arranged similarly to NPTL, so some files might go in a hurd-pthreads (or similar) top-level directory in glibc, while sysdeps files should go in the normal sysdeps directory structure (possibly in hurd or hurd-pthreads subdirectories, just as there are nptl subdirectories in the sysdeps tree).

2017-06-19Require GCC 4.9 or later for building glibc.Joseph Myers
This patch makes configure require GCC 4.9 or later for building glibc, and documents that requirement. Requiring GCC 4.9 or later allows use of _Generic (as in tzcode). It would allow <stdatomic.h> and _Atomic to be used as well if desired, although we need to avoid any libatomic dependencies on any platforms. This patch is explicitly the minimum to implement a new version requirement, with any consequent cleanups of conditional code (not in installed headers or files shared with gnulib etc.) to be done separately. Tested for x86_64. * configure.ac (libc_cv_compiler_ok): Require GCC 4.9 or later. * configure: Regenerated. * manual/install.texi (Tools for Compilation): Document requirement for GCC 4.9 or later. * INSTALL: Regenerated.
2017-06-15Enable tunables by defaultSiddhesh Poyarekar
All of the major architectures are adopting tunables as a way to add tuning to the library, from hwcap_mask for aarch64 to HLE for s390 and ifunc and cache geometry for x86. Given this adoption and the fact that we don't want additional tuning knobs to be added outside of tunables, it makes sense to enable tunables by default using this trivial patch. Smoke tested on x86 to ensure that tunables code was built without specifying it as a configure flag. I have kept it as --enabled and not changed it to --disable since we want to still keep the option of different kinds of front-ends for tunables. * configure.ac(--enable-tunables): Enable by default. * configure: Regenerate. * NEWS: Mention change. * manual/install.texi (enable-tunables): Adjust documentation. * INSTALL: Regenerate.

2017-03-15Fix combreloc test with BSD grepAlexey Neyman
The test for "-z combreloc" fails when cross-compiling on a machine that uses BSD grep (e.g. on macos). grep complains about empty subexpression and exits with non-zero status, which is interpreted by configure as "not found". As a result, support for "-z combreloc" (HAVE_Z_COMBRELOC) is not detected, leading to link failure on SPARC.

2016-12-31Enhance --enable-tunables to select tunables frontend at build timeSiddhesh Poyarekar
At the GNU Tools Cauldron 2016, the state of the current tunables patchset was considered OK with the addition of a way to select the frontend to be used for the tunables. That is, to avoid being locked in to one type of frontend initially, it should be possible to build tunables with a different frontend with something as simple as a configure switch. To that effect, this patch enhances the --enable-tunables option to accept more values than just 'yes' or 'no'. The current frontend (and default when enable-tunables is 'yes') is called 'valstring', to select the frontend where a single environment variable is set to a colon-separated value string. More such frontends can be added in future. * Makeconfig (have-tunables): Check for non-negative instead of positive. * configure.ac: Add 'valstring' as a valid value for --enable-tunables. * configure: Regenerate. * elf/Makefile (have-tunables): Check for non-negative instead of positive.

2016-12-31Add framework for tunablesSiddhesh Poyarekar
The tunables framework allows us to uniformly manage and expose global variables inside glibc as switches to users. tunables/README has instructions for glibc developers to add new tunables. Tunables support can be enabled by passing the --enable-tunables configure flag to the configure script. This patch only adds a framework and does not pose any limitations on how tunable values are read from the user. It also adds environment variables used in malloc behaviour tweaking to the tunables framework as a PoC of the compatibility interface. * manual/install.texi: Add --enable-tunables option. * INSTALL: Regenerate. * README.tunables: New file. * Makeconfig (CPPFLAGS): Define TOP_NAMESPACE.

2016-12-26Work even with compilers which enable -fstack-protector by default [BZ #7065]Nick Alcock
With all the machinery we just added, we can easily arrange to work even when the compiler passes in -fstack-protector automatically: all the necessary bits of glibc are always compiled with -fno-stack-protector now. So tear out the check in configure, and add appropriate calls to -fno-stack-protector in tests that need them (largely those that use -nostdlib), since we don't yet have a __stack_chk_fail that those tests can rely upon. (GCC often provides one, but we cannot rely on this, especially not when bootstrapping.) When stack protection is disabled, explicitly pass -fno-stack-protector to everything, to stop a compiler hacked to enable it from inserting calls to __stack_chk_fail via the PLT in every object file.
2016-12-26Do not stack-protect ifunc resolvers [BZ #7065]Nick Alcock
When dynamically linking, ifunc resolvers are called before TLS is initialized, so they cannot be safely stack-protected. We avoid disabling stack-protection on large numbers of files by using __attribute__ ((__optimize__ ("-fno-stack-protector"))) to turn it off just for the resolvers themselves. (We provide the attribute even when statically linking, because we will later use it elsewhere too.)
2016-12-26Configure support for --enable-stack-protector [BZ #7065]Nick Alcock
This adds =all and =strong, with obvious semantics, defaulting to off. We don't validate the value of the option yet: that's in a later patch. Nor do we use it for anything at this stage. We differentiate between 'the compiler understands -fstack-protector' and 'the user wanted -fstack-protector' so that we can pass -fno-stack-protector in appropriate places even if the user didn't want to turn on -fstack-protector for other parts. (This helps us overcome another existing limitation, that glibc doesn't work with GCCs hacked to pass in -fstack-protector by default.) We also arrange to set the STACK_PROTECTOR_LEVEL #define to a value appropriate for the stack-protection level in use for each file in particular.

2016-12-02Bug 20918 - Building with --enable-nss-crypt fails tst-linkall-staticCarlos O'Donell
Some configurations may use NSS cryptographic routines but have no static library for those routines. The following changes allow glibc to be built and tested with --enable-nss-crypt, but without having a static NSS library. At a high level the change does two things: (1) Detect at configure time if static NSS crypto libraries are available. Assumes libfreebl3.a (instead of the existing Fedora libfreebl.a which is incomplete) which matches libfreebl3.so. (2) If static NSS crypto libraries are _not_ available then adjust the way in which we build tst-linkall-static. This includes excluding a reference to crypt and not linking against libcrypt.a, all of which will fail otherwise. Testing assumptions: * Static library is named libfreebl3.a (not libfreebl.a as is currently provided in Fedora), matching libfreebl3.so shared link name. Tested on x86_64 on Fedora with: (a) --enable-nss-crypt, with no static NSS library support: PASS (previous FAIL) (b) --enable-nss-crypt, with faked static NSS library support: PASS (unsupported) * Requires changing elf/Makefile to include a stub /lib64/libfreebl3.a for testing purposes. (c) --disable-nss-crypt: PASS (default) No regressions on x86_64. For details see: https://www.sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-11/msg00647.html
2016-11-15configure: accept __stack_chk_fail_local for ssp support too [BZ #20662]Denis Kaganovich
When glibc is compiled with gcc 6.2 that has been configured with --enable-default-pie and --enable-default-ssp, the configure script fails to detect that the compiler has ssp turned on by default when being built for i686-linux-gnu. This is because gcc is emitting __stack_chk_fail_local but the script is only looking for __stack_chk_fail. Support both. Example output: checking whether x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -m32 -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed implicitly enables -fstack-protector... no
2016-10-07Add configure check to test if gcc supports attribute ifunc.Stefan Liebler
This patch adds a configure check to test if gcc supports attribute ifunc. The support can either be enabled in <gcc-src>/gcc/config.gcc for one architecture in general by setting default_gnu_indirect_function variable to yes or by configuring gcc with --enable-gnu-indirect-function. The next patch rewrites libc_ifunc macro to use gcc attribute ifunc instead of inline assembly to generate the IFUNC symbols due to false debuginfo. If gcc does not support attribute ifunc, the old approach for generating ifunc'ed symbols is used. Then the debug-information is false. Thus it is recommended to use a gcc with indirect function support (See notes in INSTALL). After this patch-series these inline assemblies for ifunc-handling are not scattered in multiple files but are used only indirect via ifunc-macros and can simply removed in libc-symbols.h in future. If glibc is configured with --enable-multi-arch and gcc does not support attribute ifunc, a configure warning is dumped! ChangeLog: * config.h.in (HAVE_GCC_IFUNC): New undef. * configure.ac: Add check if gcc supports attribute ifunc feature. * configure: Regenerated. * manual/install.texi: Add recommendation for gcc with indirect-function support. * INSTALL: Regenerated.

2015-10-29Remove configure tests for visibility support.Joseph Myers
There are various configure tests for visibility support in the compiler and assember. GCC support for visibility attributes was added in GCC 3.3. I don't know what specific fix was intended by the test "for broken __attribute__((visibility())", but it was added by <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-hacker/2002-08/msg00030.html>, and GCC 3.3 appears not to have that breakage, so I suspect it was only ever in development versions before 3.3 was released. The assembler support was added in binutils 2.10. This patch removes the tests in question as obsolete. Two tests that were formerly conditional on "if test $libc_cv_visibility_attribute = yes", including the one for linker support for protected data, are now unconditional. Tested for x86_64 and x86 (testsuite, and that installed shared libraries are unchanged by the patch). * configure.ac (libc_cv_asm_protected_directive): Remove configure test.
